somebody replaced my header with: "NO NEW COLUMNS PLEASE: We have no use for this data"
I can't imagine that that's the case. I'm disappointed to have data removed. I understand if quality code data can't be used, possibly, in OSM. But somewhere, there should be a record of whether something is located to within a precise address, to a village centroid, or within a km of a town. Darn, really disappointed I'm not even sure to whom I should direct this issue? Who was the person who took out the header, complete with descriptions of (what I think are really reasonable) codes 1-4? Anyhow, I'm feeling deflated. I thought I was providing a really valuable service, and now, given that I don't know the location of the hospitals, and have generally been finding village and town centroids, it feels like really bad data, especially minus a quality code. My original description for the new column said: Quality code 1=precise geocode 2=nearby 3=village, within 0.3 km 4=town, within 1km Margie, working on http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0Aoyf-OlHreuhdDBkSWJ2d1FtMkpkTzZrV1B4dDlKREE&hl=en On Fri, Jan 22, 2010 at 1:44 PM, Margie Roswell <[email protected]> wrote: > I added a quality code to: > http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0Aoyf-OlHreuhdDBkSWJ2d1FtMkpkTzZrV1B4dDlKREE&hl=en > 1=precise; 2=nearby; 3=approx village centroid > > Is there a way to implement that in OSM?
